What IS the Adobe Premiere benchmark?

[Dario_D]

Can someone tell me what exactly the Adobe Premiere CPU benchmark is benchmarking? Is this how long it takes to RENDER something, or some measurement of how quickly it can go through frames in a timeline? (which I find a lot more important) It says: "1440x1080 Video Editing"... (I have no idea what that means)

If it's not already written somewhere else on the page, they really need to be alot more clear about what each benchmark IS exactly. (like what res the renders are, how many frames, etc)

Adobe Premiere Pro* CS3 is a video editing tool for professionals with features like color correction and specials effects creation. In this test the project "F1 Demo 3wayCC.prproj" contains two 30-second segments HDV 1080p25 footage with a cross-dissolve transition applied across the entire 60s. The first 30s also has the effect "Three-Way Color Corrector" applied, independently adjusting the scene's shadows, highlights, and midtones. Additionally the 25fps input clip is converted to 29.7fps. The performance test measures the time to render a non-realtime preview of the first 7s (210 frames). This involves reading the two HDV source streams, applying the cross-dissolve, the Three-Way Color Corrector, and then encoding the result to a HDV file that is stored by Premiere Pro for later use when a preview of the rendered region is requested. Extrapolation of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 rendering the first 7 seconds sed to calculate how long to render a 2-minute video based on the original 7 second workload.

I wonder if it's possible to grab the project file and two HDV video clips to try this test myself, check out how my overclock helps.
